Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken (or any ground lean meat of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil or ghee
- 8 oz diced yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves (peeled and grated)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder (less or more according to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or more to taste)
- 7 oz roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 long green chili pepper (sliced) such as serrano or jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more to taste)
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
Method
- In a pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Add ground chicken and salt, then stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Make sure to break the meat into small pieces.
- Lower the heat to medium. Mix in cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add ¾ cup of water and cover the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add bell peppers and green chilies, then stir to combine. Cover and simmer for about 8 minutes, until the bell peppers are tender but still crunchy. If the sauce is too watery, bring it to a simmer uncovered until it reduces to your desired consistency.
- Turn off the heat and stir in garam masala, cilantro, and lemon juice. Taste and add salt as needed.
